Amazon has released the developer preview of the next major version of AWS SDK for .NET.

Version 2 SDK adds support for Windows Store and Windows Phone apps so you can use the AWS cloud from those platforms. Support has also been added for the .NET task-based asynchronous pattern.

The support for Windows Store and Windows Phone Apps means you can connect your Windows Phone or Windows Store apps to AWS services, and you can build a cross-targeted application that's backed by AWS. Until now AWS mobile support was limited to the big-name duo with SDK for iOS and SDK for Android.

The other big enhancement to the new version is the support for the task-based asynchronous pattern. This pattern uses the async and await keywords and makes it easier to program asynchronous operations against AWS.
